Festive Season Closures

All libraries, including our mobile libraries and the Kim barne thaliyu/Geelong Heritage Centre, will close at 5pm on 24 December 2024 and reopen on 2 January 2025.

All returns chutes will be closed. Please hold onto your library items until we reopen - a reminder that we don't charge fines.
